The Highlands is the area north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault (from Arran and Helensburgh on the west coast stretching across to Stonehaven in the east). It is the uppermost part of Scotland (made up of six smaller regions) and home to famous attractions such as Ben Nevis and Loch Ness, towns (notably Fort William, Nairn and Aviemore) and the “City of the Highlands” - Inverness. Traditionally visitors wishing to experience the beautiful Scottish outdoors will travel to the Highlands to visit the scenic lochs, tall snow capped, mountains, vast glens, ancient monuments as well as the beaches and bays along North Scotland’s iconic coastline. Seals, puffins, whales and dolphins are often spotted on these shores. You may want to try to catch a glimpse of the infamous Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights), walk amongst the The Highlands varied wildlife and flora or appreciate the breath-taking Scottish landscapes as part of your Highland experience.

    Sectoral Survey into Self-Caterer Access to Covid-19 Business Support Week 3 Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers Supporting self-catering in Scotland ASSC SECTORAL SURVEY INTO SELF-CATERER ACCESS TO COVID-19 BUSINESS SUPPORT Introduction • The Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers (ASSC) is the leading source of knowledge on short-term letting and holiday homes in Scotland. The ASSC conducted a Scotland-wide sectoral survey relating to issues concerning eligibility and access to the various packages of economic support from the Scottish and UK Governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. • The online survey elicited 629 responses from self-caterers in Scotland, from both ASSC members and non-ASSC members alike, in 31/32 of Scotland’s local authorities. • The results offer valuable insights into the experiences and problems faced by Scottish self-catering operators in accessing the support required to safeguard their business in a sector that has been estimated to contribute over £723m each year to the Scottish economy. Survey Overview • The ASSC ran a third round of their online survey consisting of 18 questions. This was publicised via ASSC newsletters, as well as on the ASSC’s social media pages on Twitter and Facebook. • In 24 hours, the survey generated 629 responses. 260 were from members of the ASSC and 369 responses were from non-members. Summary It is hoped that the survey results will continue to inform discussion regarding the support required for self-catering operators in Scotland to ensure that no sector is left behind by government, as well as what changes are necessary to protect livelihoods in what has been a key component part of Scotland’s tourism offering for a generation.

I had always wanted to visit Orkney because my great-grandmother, Isabella Allan, was born on the tiny island of Stronsay in 1843. By any standards, these islands have an extraordinary human history, stretching from Neolithic times, some 5,000 years ago to the two great wars of the 20th century.

    POLICY ZONE B: NORTH CONNEL TO ACHNACREE BAY (CONNEL NARROWS) LANDSCAPE CHARACTERISTICS This zone has a diverse range of adjacent coastal vegetation, including small cultivated fields and woodlands. A well developed hinterland contrasts with the simple uncluttered water surface and largely undeveloped shoreline. Settlement is broadly linear and parallel with the coast throughout the policy zone. SEASCAPE CHARACTERISTICS The seascape is characterised by a narrow elongated fast moving tidal channel, with some subtle bays west of Connel Bridge on the southern side of the Loch. Under the Connel Bridge, the tidal Falls of Lora are recognised as a major natural heritage feature and are a tourist attraction in their own right. Generally the water surface has a feeling of enclosure as the area is contained by low but pronounced slopes and the almost continuous presence of fast moving currents. However, a maritime presence is also reflected in the movement of boats, and the occasional view of open sea. Connel Bridge & Narrows North Connel shoreline looking east to View east to Kilmaronig narrows from Image courtesy of Argyll and Bute Council Connel Bridge Connel Bridge Image courtesy of Argyll and Bute Council Image courtesy of Argyll and Bute Council ACCESS Access can be sought at a number of locations throughout this policy zone. There is good access to Ardmucknish Bay from the pontoon at Camas Bruaich Ruaidhe, although prior permission to use this pontoon must be sought. Access to Falls of Lora is via the two old ferry slipways. The slip at Connel opposite the Oyster Inn has limited car parking facilities and is suitable for shore divers and kayakers, however boats cannot be launched from this slip.

    Review of the application and Environmental Statement submitted by Dawnfresh Farming Limited for the formation of fin-fish (Rainbow Trout) farm comprising 10 No. 80m circumference cages plus installation of feed-barge at Sailean Ruadh (Etive 6) Loch Etive, Argyll And Bute (planning ref 13/01379/MFF) Friends of Loch Etive Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation SC043986 c/o Muckairn Taynuilt Loch Etive PA35 1JA July 2013 Executive Summary i) Dawnfresh Farming Limited, the rainbow trout fish-farming company, is seeking planning permission to build a massive and permanent floating 10-cage fish-farm at Sailean Ruadh on Loch Etive, effectively doubling the tonnage of rainbow trout as compared to their five existing farms on Loch Etive. ii) While slightly smaller than the original 14-cage application withdrawn in July 2013 following a storm of local protest, the new applications retains most of the features of the earlier application that locals found so objectionable and would be a significant and unacceptable industrialisation of fish-farming activity on Loch Etive. iii) While Dawnfresh had tried to suggest that the initial 14-cage fish-farm application was part of some wider consolidation plan for its sites on Loch Etive as a whole, it has now dropped all pretences to be seeking to reduce its other operations on Loch Etive. Consolidation does not form part of the revised 10-cage application being considered by the Argyll and Bute Council. The proposed fish-farm will effectively double the total tonnage of farmed-fish on Loch Etive, following which Dawnfresh has let slip that it expects the other sites to ‘increase organically over time’, possibly by exploiting recently- granted Permitted Development Rights which allow the addition of extra cages and changes in feed- barges at existing sites without any further public consultation.
